I was skiing in
Keystone a couple weeks ago when two teenage girls approached me and
asked, “Do you have a phone?” My first reaction was surprise that they didn’t
have phones with them based on my own girls’ teenage experiences. I said,
yes and reached for it in case they needed to call for a ride or something.
They said, “Great, what time is it!” This almost elicited a full belly laugh
out of me when I realized they didn’t want to make a call; they wanted to know
the time and that the first thought for them wasn’t whether I wore a watch but
whether I had a phone with me. I was definitely feeling a little old that if I
had need to ask someone for the time, I would not first ask whether they had a
phone. Fortunately, I don’t wear a watch so I could at least appear to be as
cool as they were, even with the 30-35 year language barrier!
This got me
thinking about my need to modernize or to allow myself to gracefully transition
into the new paradigm.
Marsha
Hankins, my friend and teacher, has channeled from the Spiritual Hierarchy,
that the predominate energy for 2014 is TRANSITION. I find this exciting and am looking forward
to what types of transitions I will be making this year. I am working with My
God-Self / My Soul regarding what the vision for me is and how that vision fits
with the vision for all of humanity and Mother Earth. I am looking at what
types of things will change for me with my inner-work, my service and my
family.
Especially
when I look at everything that is happening in the world, I am reminded that I
want to set my intention that all the transitions for me – and for all – are as
graceful and easy, as possible. Everyone has their own lessons to learn from
the experiences they have. But, there is no reason not to allow for the possibility
that we can create the transitions with as much joy and peace, as possible. If
we fall short, individually or collectively, from manifesting easy and graceful
transitions, it still might as well be our goal. You never know how much more
joyfully and peacefully we created the experience simply by setting the
intention. In other words, by viewing the glass half full, we are setting our
intention to manifest from a positive position which raises our expectations
and our outcomes much more than assuming the worst.
Whether you
tell time with a sun dial, a watch or a phone, it is time to easily and
effortlessly become the next better version of yourself.
